Guys, it's not one or the other. We can have trees and algae tanks. Trees can still offer all of the benefits they do like shade and beauty while algae tanks can be used to increase fresh oxygen. Algae is much better at absorbing CO2 than trees and providing clean air which is a big problem in a busy city.

Funnily enough, both are in the picture.

It is one or the other because they'll come out of the same budget - it's an "opportunity cost". So if the city has $1000 to spend on either a tree or a tank, then they can't spend the same $1000 on both items. We'd need some balance between the two.
